THE SANDS O'DEE
"O Mary go and call the cattle home,
And call the cattle home,
And call the cattle home,
Across the sands O'Dee!"
The western wind was wild and dank with foam,
6 And all alone went she.
The creeping tide came up along the sand,
And o'er and o'er the sand.
And round and round the sand
As far as eye could see;
The rolling mist came down and hid the land
12 And never home came she.
"Oh is it weed, or fish, or floating hair,
A drowned maiden's hair
Above the nets at sea?"
Was never salmon yet that shone so fair
Among the stakes on Dee.
18 They brought her in across the rolling foam.
The cruel, crawling foam.
The cruel hungry foam,
To her grave beside the sea.
But still the boatmen hear her call the cattle home,
Across the sands O'Dee.
